Home Cinema Day has landed! All over the country people are gathering together to participate in the Scalarama event where people organise their own viewings, invite their friends and share their day by tweeting, blogging or just singing about it…

Video City have come up with a list of staff-recommended double-bills for you to share with your chosen watching buddies – and we’ve thrown in a special offer to boot: rent any of these double-bills today and pay just £3. That’s 2 films for the price of 1, so get involved!

Home Cinema Day is tomorrow – so get ready to grab your staff-recommended double-bills. All double bills will be listed on this blog and there will be a print out of the list at the shop on the day for all you late starters. Our list continues:

And so we continue with our list of staff-selected double features as part of Scalarama‘s celebration of film screenings in diverse locations – on this occasion (this Sunday) in YOUR living room. Remember, on this Sunday only, you get 2 for 1 when renting any of our staff-suggested double-bills (i.e. each double-bill will cost just £3).

As Home Cinema Day beckons, the staff at London’s finest film emporium (yes, that’s us) have got together to raid the far corners of their hearts and minds to come up with our exclusive Scalarama selection of double bills for you and your friends/family/bitter enemies to enjoy watching together this Sunday. Plus, to make the whole thing even better, we’ve decided to let you take any of our recommended double-bills for the price of one film – Sunday 29th only! Just name the double-bill of your choice on the day – or book it in advance if you have something fancy planned – and away you go: £3 richer (sort of).

As part of Home Cinema Day, Video City staff are putting together a list of recommended double-bills – and we’re throwing in a 2 for 1 rental offer on Sunday 29th September (on these doubles only) just because we can.

The idea of Home Cinema Day – which is part of the Scalarama film season which celebrates different types of film screenings – is quite simply to promote communal film watching at home. So, get your hands on some choice watching material and invite your friends over to watch – maybe make a night/day of it: film-themed parties/fancy dress/food and cocktails are all on the cards! Participants are encouraged to tweet, blog and upload photos of their Home Cinema Day – SHARE YOUR PICTURES WITH US!

NB: OUR RECOMMENDED DOUBLE-BILLS WILL BE PUBLISHED THROUGHOUT THE WEEK ON THIS BLOG AND ON TWITTER – SO KEEP CHECKING IN.

OF COURSE, AS ALWAYS, YOU CAN RESERVE YOUR SELECTION – SO GIVE US A SHOUT!

If you haven’t already been to any of the Scalarama screenings, you still have the rest of the week…
